I have a QS6.1 and Cakewalk Pro7. Two nights ago I ran into a couple of problems that aren't necessary related, but are happening at the same time.
Both issues involve the PortaWheel program (105 in user bank 2 I think - I'm not in front of my synth). The PortaWheel patch functions similar to the Pitch Wheel, but pitches up or down from one note to the next, say from C2 to C6, and vice versa.
It is assigned to channel 6 and other stuff is on 1-5. I'm set up in Multi-timbral w/ MIDI OFF, KBD Mode OUT 1.
When I record, two things happen:
1)MIDI channel 1 sounds with 6. Where is that coming from? Why do they seem to be linked? I've deleted channel six, skipped it, and assigned the output to 7, and it still happens. I'm really puzzled about this.
2)The program isn't changing pitches. Let's say I want to start at C2 and go to C5. I'll strike C2 to set my starting point. When I go to C5, I just get the note on C5, but the synth doesn't pitch up to it. HOWEVER, if, within some short time period, I want to pitch up or down again and strike a key, it works!? But if I wait too long (?) and strike a key, all I get is the note assigned to that key, with no pitching. AND of course, I still have the problem listed in #1 above.
Actually, I don't even have to be recording, just in Multi-timbral mode for these things to occur. The patch works fine when I'm out of MIX mode and over in Progam mode.
Any clues??? I'm totally stumped.
tnx, Michael
